Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement? (lemmy.world)

He would be the perfect person to AMA as he’s already associated with Reddit revolts, and it would result in tremendous media coverage and mark fediverse as a viable alternative to Reddit. What do you think?

I like the idea but we are not ready at all for something like that. It'd be crazy to blow our load too early and draw a bunch of media attention here only for people to come here and find it unusable. If redditors are struggling this much to migrate, the general public has no chance.

See where we are at in 3-6 months and reassess.

I agree, but it doesn't hurt to think this out for when the time comes.
